MECHANICS LIEN RELEASE FAQ
What is a Mechanics Lien Release?
A Mechanics Lien Release is a legal document filed by a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier confirming that they have been paid and releasing their lien rights against the property.
Why is a Mechanics Lien Release important?
It clears property title by removing outstanding lien claims, protecting owners from double payment and ensuring contractors cannot pursue further claims once payment is settled.
When should you use a Mechanics Lien Release?
Use it after receiving payment in full (or partial payment, if it’s a conditional release) for work performed or materials provided in a construction project.
What should a Mechanics Lien Release include?
It should identify the claimant, property, project, payment amount, lien release terms, and governing law. It may also specify whether it is a conditional or unconditional release.
What is the difference between conditional and unconditional lien releases?
A conditional release is effective only when payment clears.
An unconditional release immediately waives lien rights, regardless of payment status.
